The War of Art – Steven Pressfield

The War of Art by Steven Pressfield is a short but essential book about getting over yourself and getting to work. Artists and creative people everywhere are all fighting self doubt and their own minds in one way or another. And Pressfield explains this dynamic beautifully as a beautiful epic allegory of the artist versus Resistance, a personification of the forces that would keep you from getting your work done, and thus keep you from being successful.
